- Trowa: Year of the Rabbit -
*This collection of Zodiac information is an excerpt from the "LITTLE GIANT ENCYCLOPEDIA of the ZODIAC" by The Diagram Group. Ergo, I didn't write this stuff, folks!

Note: It was very difficult to figure out Trowa's Zodic, since, well... it's not like he opens up to anyone. And just as he doesn't say much, there's not much tosay about him. So, I went with the most likely match - the Rabbit:



      History: The Rabbit is associated with longevity and the Moon. Some astrologers identify this sign as the cat, not rabbit, but Chinese Astrologers always refer to is as the rabbit or hare.

     Personality: Seemingly unexceptional, rabbits provoke extreme reactions. They inspire either adoration or hate, but never indifference. Rabbits are mysterious yet preactical, timid but ruthless, articulate but unscrutable, and virtuous as well as cunning. They like their lives to be secure, calm, and comfortable, yet they are fiercely independent.Sensitive and intuitive by nature, rabbits are easily influenced by their emotions.

     Secret Rabbit: Mistakenly, people often assumer that rabbits' need for security and comfort combined with the urge to avoid confrontation means that they are weak. This is not true. Rabbits will use all their diplomacy, charm, and cunning to achieve their ends. That fact that they rarely need to resort to outright battle to get their own is proof of rabbits' strength, not weakness of character.

     Element: Rabbit is linked to the Chinese element of wood. Wood can be both flexible like a sappling or sturdy as an oak. how its energy is expressed depends on how well a wood person can both control and indulge their natural tendencies. For a rabbit, the tendencies to be wary of are the urge to avoid change or trouble at all costs, self indulgence, and timidity.

     Good Friends for Rabbit
The listed friends show the compatibility of rabbit with other animals. There is no fixed ruling, however, because there are other influences on both the dog and any potential friend. These influences are: the inner companion in life, and the dominant element.(The listed friends for dog are all based on the other zodiacs of the pilots... don't ask if you don't know why. Also, the "+'s" are supposed to mean FRIEND, however, this book does not specify if the listed are just good friends or good friends...)

     Dog and Rabbit (1+3):Loyal dog gets along well with rabbit, and the two can have a happy relationship, as long as they do not take each other for granted.

     Horse and Rabbit (2+3): Moody horses makes a disruptive friend for rabbit, who may not tolerate this for long unless very much in love (!?!? An unexpected treat for you 2x3/3x2 peoples...)

     Ox and Rabbit (4+3):An ideal match, ox can provide rabbit with security and peace so that the two can live in harmony. Rabbit may find ox's straight talking nature hard to handle, and at times may be tempted to stray to assert independence.

     Dragon and Rabbit (5+3):Ulikely to get along, dragons annoy rabbits with their madcap, untidy natures. A compromise could be acheived if both have their own space.

Love
*This section is very shakey, as no one really knows how this stuff works as far as the pilots are concerned. Therefore, nothing is underlined to show association with the Rabbit sign and Trowa.

     Rabbit in Love: Rabbits are wary of commitment as it involves change and making a major decision. This does not mean they are fickle, just careful about choosing their partners. Rabbits would rather be alone than in unsatisfactory relationships; they prize their peaceful lives highly. Once committed, rabbits put a lot of effort into their relationships. Always willign to listen and loathe to argue, they make attentive, tender, and loving partners. Despite this, it is sometimes hard to know what rabbit partners are feeling or thinking as they are very private people. Rabbits listen better than they confide. This can be exasperating for others unless they learn how to read the signs. Rabbits need a lot of attention and love - but most are clever enough to have learnt that, if given, these will be returned.

     Rabbit and Sex: Not quick to jump into bed, courtships are lengthy with rabbits, and it may be left to others to tke the initiative. Once involved, a rabbit will be a faithful loveer. Traditional and sensitive by nature, rabbits are often romantics and are easily seduced by roses, candelight dinners, and perhaps even poetry if it is not too avant-garde. But do not assume that they will appreciate drama in their sex life - sophisticated rabbits are repulsed by raw emotion and tears. Rabbits can be unexciting lovers as they are inhibited people restrained by their lack of imagination. They do listen well, however, and like to please, so a rabbit will be willing to learn what their partner likes in bed. Nothing kinky will be tolerated thought ( Awh...), as rabbits are actually quite prudish.

     The Rabbit Years and Their Elements
The rabbit is a Yin wood animal. Each of the rabbit years, however, is associated with an element which is said to have its own influence. These elements are wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

     Trowa is a Wood-Earth rabbit: Earth endows this rabbit with a more realistic and pragmatic character. Earth rabbits are more able to deal with the downside of life than other rabbits, who typically try to hide from it. Better equipped to make decisions, the earth rabbit will do so carefully and after great deliberation. They tend to be humble and aware of their limitations. Independent and fond of solitude, earth rabbits can achieve much through hard work.
